Peanut Butter Cookies with Coconut Flour

I really wanted to like these. I love peanut butter cookies. Crunch ones that is. 

These cookies were terrible. I think I know why and may have to try them again. 

First, I forgot the salt. That's a big deal. That little bit of salt would have enhanced the flavor I think. 

Second, I should have read the blog with this recipe. The writer talks about adding more sweetener if you like a sweeter cookie. These cookies were tasteless. Which is surprising considering an entire cup of peanut butter is used. BUT unsweetened peanut butter means less sweet. I should have figured that out. 

Bottom line. This batch was gross. BUT, I will make these again. The texture was pretty good and for that reason alone I'll try them again. 

Peanut Butter Cookies with Coconut Flour

Recipe from Low Carb Yum

Makes 12

• 2 T coconut flour add more if needed
• 1/4 c low carb sugar substitute or other sugar equivalent sweetener
• 1/4 tsp stevia concentrated powder or 1/2 teaspoon monk fruit extract powder
• 1 c unsweetened peanut butter
• 1/4 c butter softened
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Mix all ingredients together until well combined and dough forms

Drop scoops or balls of dough onto parchment paper lined baking pans.

Flatten each dough ball by making criss-cross mark with fork. For flatter cookies, press down first with fingers before making the fork marks.

Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes or until edges of cookies have browned.
